Higher costs for more sustainably produced food remain a barrier in the College's attempts to embrace a more socially responsible menu, especially with regards to poultry, according to DDS purchasing manager Beth DiFrancesco. "I think we're really starting to test the waters, but one of the facts of more sustainably raised food is that it costs a lot more money," DiFrancesco said.
